Help me again please! Disneyworld or Universal?
The family is at loggerheads, we are currently 2 members wanting Universal, 2 wanting Disney on our trip next year.
Each side has given pro's for their choices and con's for their not wanted, this is what we have: Disney Pro's: 6 Parks (soooo much Disney) Character meets (Even more Disney) We know our way around Closer to the Villa so less driving for DH DS's girlfriend who has been invited has never been to America, would appreciate the Disney experience. Disney Con's: The parking charge We've already been twice, we've been on all the rides Harry Potter isn't there The cost of the tickets! think of all the meals we could have with the savings! Universal Pro's We can get an annual pass to save on parking Never been there before, it's all new things to see! Harry Potter (need we say more) Rides are a bit more grown up now kids are 20 and nearly 14. It's much cheaper for the tickets. Universal Cons: Much further away, more driving for DH Supposedly Volcano bay isn't a scratch on the Disney water parks Only 3 parks, would we get bored? Think how early we would have to get up for rope drop mum! you hate getting up early! So lovely Dibbers, the family has turned to you with a syncronised, 'but which do the Dibber's think is better? ask them!' So I am here, asking you all, Disney or Universal tickets, if you had to pick, which would it be for two adults (one who can't ride simulators if that makes a difference), 2 x twenty somethings (one of which has never been) and a will be 14 year old who will ride anything frim the teacups to rollercoasters that do NOT go upside down!

Clearly universal in your situation.
Not sure if you’ve got mixed up but Volcano Bay is miles ahead of the Disney water parks. |

I couldn't pick between the two but whoever said, "Supposedly Volcano bay isn't a scratch on the Disney water parks" is either very ill-informed or drunk. There is not even a comparison to be made with that.

Disney for us. We found a lot of the rides at Universal are simulators - not really my thing!

 (I can't focus on moving objects when being tipped about so get motion sickness in them)

There will never be a definitive answer for this. Completely different experiences and which is better is subjective.
Universal has zero to offer me. I can't do any of their rides (don't do rollercoasters and simulators make me sick) and I'm not interested in any of their IP. But someone else could say the exact same thing about Disney. Given your kids ages and the fact you love Harry Potter, I would go with Universal. Maybe add Seaworld tickets (or Discovery Cove Ultimates for the best deal) if you're worried you'll get bored, they have some good coasters apparently. Both parks together still cost less than a Disney ticket. Edited at 03:55 PM. |

Volcano Bay is an awesome water park. But that aside, based on your comments, likes and dislikes I would choose Disney.
